Been thinking about this a lot lately. Hope to have a couple of kids by then. Want to be living in a city where I go can settle down for the rest of my life, either in the northwest part of the U.S or maybe the east coast, the midwest is a distant third for me but still in the cards. I would love to live in a small city with a large 3+ acre wooded lot, pretty much the complete opposite of where I am now, LOL.

As far what I want too be doing for a living. I would like too either trade stocks daily, this has always intriuged me and when I get a big enough extra money to do this then I really want to give it a try but that is quite a few years away and a lot of money away also. The only other thing I am looking to do is what I am doing now, which is betting sports for a living, I have always loved doing but this also really depends on a lot of things and what happens with the industry in the next few years, etc...

Would also like to have another income, something a little more guaranteed but have no idea what that would be, maybe starting some type of small business you can run from home.

What are you guys hoping for in 5 years?

I hope to still be playing poker and betting on sports. Not sure why that would change though

Where? Don't mind a whole lot. Probably not the UK. Denmark possibly, elsewhere in Scandinavia, Australia..

What? Hopefully settled down with somebody, probably working in Academia.

To be doing professional day trading and supplementing it with consistent sportsbook winnings. I already am a trader but I have a ways to go before I can win enough in sportsbook to consider it a true 2nd income. I live in Canada but would love to move to Vegas. LOL that would be the life eh:toast:

In 5 years..

Either in Las Vegas betting for a living, or in another country living the good life.

Leaning towards #2 nowadays...betting can always just be on the side.

Yes, I have for about 6 years now.

It's not what I want to do with my life though, just a means to an end. For the last 2 I've spent the money from gambling on paying my way through a MSc whilst living more comfortably than most students, and from the summer I'll be employed full-time doing a research PHD; and will dial the gambling down a bit to a side income stream.

What about a career in competitive eating? You can't tell me Kobayashi could take you in a hot dog eating contest.

in five years i hope i'm still living in vegas, in a high rise on the strip, zipping down to the casinos and making mid four figure bets on the regular. also i'd have a large enough bankroll to play all the big buyin poker tournaments on my own dime. hopefully not in a serious relationship, but dating.

in ten years i'd like to have settled down in california, mainly trading in the stock market or running a business, or else continuing to play poker and bet on sports, if those things are not absurdly difficult by then.
